Emboldened p-values signify statistically significant comparisons.
1 unit of apheresis platelets is equivalent to 4–6 units of whole blood-derived platelet concentrates.
AKI represents acute kidney injury; ALI/ARDS, acute lung injury/acute respiratory distress syndrome; aPTT, activated partial thromboplastin time; ATC, acute traumatic coagulopathy; ICU, intensive care unit; INR, international normalized ratio.
